On the topic of how cool is Hotwords? I say very, with no eggshells whatsoever.
Ha! Now see, if either one of us had said *hot* instead of cool someone somewhere somehow would have gotten their panties in a twist at the incorrectness of it all.
On the other hand by pointing out how cool we both are we are being pretty exclusionary to the hot people. So in a way, we are both intolerant Micro-Aggressors. Which makes us not only cooler, but also more kick-ass
Topics? You mean besides immigration, gun control, and body positivity?
Yes.
Personal responsibility. On…just about everything. Today? Financial responsibility.
A recent conversation in my world went something along these lines:
Me: Do you really want to spend that much money on face products?
Friend: It’s my money! I’m entitled to spend it how I want!
Me: Ummm.… Did I say you weren’t?
Friend: My appearance is important to my emotional well-being. (Said snottily.)
Me: Having a roof over your head is important to you physical well-being. (Said in a temper.)
Conversation went downhill from there.
My business how she spends her money? Nope.
Do I normally bother to comment? Nope.
Which…annoys me no end.
What is it with the current trend of people living in perpetual crisis (financial or otherwise), feeling entitled to your ear, your sympathy, your bailout, then throwing down righteous indignation if the behavior that keeps them in their crisis cycle is commented on?
Do whatever you want, but don’t hold me hostage to perpetual whining when the repeated result is not to your liking. At least, don't hold me hostage and expect me not to comment.
I don’t like being held hostage. Who does?
People. :head desk:
Hotwords, I think I love you.
It's been a bit of a week, but knowing there is another cool, kick-ass, intolerant micro-aggressor in the world allows me to put it all behind. I now sail into into Girls' Night (sans snotty spender) refreshed, and once again confident about my place in the universe.
I love this 
Firstly, as you age you should expect many more of these lapses in memory.
Secondly, if she was a midget or an dwarf commentary on her height may have been deemed inappropriate in certain circles, with your friends I’m guessing not though.
Finally, knowing you this seems like a non-event because you’d be totally focussed on her tits.
I’ll need to verify this with Default.
*waves at default*
*fist bump*
Or
*chest bump*
Or….
Well…idk...whatever it is people do these days to indicate solidarity?
#neveruptodate
Speaking as one who failed first grade recess for, and I quote, "Refuses to play with the other children," I would hate to spoil my track record by conforming.
Wait….
Would that be similar to sending an unsolicited, errr…you know, male appendage pic?
*ponders the niceties*
Hahaha, EN 'not conforming since the tender age of 6'
It would be my opinion that the unsolicited 'pole portrait' isn't quite the same because it's common courtesy to send the 'chesty'
P-Dude. Calm down. Pretty sure Naughty was teasing.
It’s so strange for you to be concerned about what other people think.
To answer the follow up question.
No. It’s unlikely there would be the same level of outrage over a short comment. Weight is now a social justice warrior cause. Height is not.
I am not really a noticing kind of person, but if something did catch my eye I might easily comment on appearance.
Would I feel bad about making a comment such as you describe to a friend?
No.
Would I make the comment to the person in question?
Unlikely. Unless I had some reason to think it would be well received. People can be touchy about their weight, on both ends of the spectrum. I wouldn’t want to hurt feelings.
Does posting a 'chesty' online count?
Errr...by posting I mean in my profile.
Errr...by chesty I mean in a bra.
#modest
Ha! To date, there is a bra pic, a shoulder pic, a leg pic, and a naked back pic floating around.
I am in the very slow process of assembling a whole woman.
Lol. Of course she was kidding. Perhaps I need sarcasm font.
I don’t REALLY care much about what people think. I’m just interested.
Ha! You people pleaser, you! Your willingness to accommodate is both noted and appreciated.
I must say, though, where were you when I posted that nude back pic? No one I knew was online, and I didn't feel I could take it down until it was viewed.
I WAS HELD HOSTAGE
BY MYSELF
*thunk*
Thank the powers that be a friend came along.
Oh, man. I really need to plan these things better.
A lot of people think being anti-social means you don't say much, but really it might be because of a mouthful
